4. A circular bar of 500 mm length is supported freely at its two ends. It is acted upon (3)
by a central concentrated transverse load having a minimum value of 20 kN and a
maximum value of 50 kN. Determine the diameter of bar by taking a factor of safety

allowable shear stress for static loading may be taken as 100 MPa. The distance

decreases by 70% of its initial value after two oscillations. Determine the natural
frequency of the system.
11 A machine mounted on springs and fitted with a dashpot has a mass of 90 kg. There
are four springs, each of stiffness 13 N/mm. The amplitude of vibrations reduces
from 42.4 mm to 8.4 mm in two complete oscillations. Determine (i) damping

12 A machine of 20kg mass is mounted on springs and dashpots. The equivalent
stiffness of the spring is 10 N/mm and damping coefficient is 0.25 N.s/mm.
The system is initially at rest and a velocity of 150mm/s is imparted to the mass at
t=0. Determine the amplitude of the oscillation and phase angle.
13 A mass of 10 kg is suspended from one end of a helical spring; the other end being
fixed. The stiffness of the spring is 10 N/mm. The viscous damping causes the
amplitude to decrease to one-tenth of the initial value in four complete oscillations.
If a periodic force of 150sin50t N is applied at the mass in the vertical direction,
determine the steady state amplitude of the forced vibrations. Also calculate its

Neglecting damping, calculate the total stiffness of the spring so that the force
transmitted to the foundation is 1/25th of the applied force, when the speed of
rotation of machine crank shaft is 750 rpm. If under actual working conditions of the
machine, it is found that the damping reduces the amplitude of successive free
vibrations by 25%. Determine. the amplitude of the forced vibration of the machine
